"It industry is moving from the PC to the Internet, the application of it in the future will be data-centric, people-centered, service-centric." "Microsoft Global Senior vice president, China Electronic Society cloud Computing Experts committee vice Chairman Dr. Zhang will be the change of IT industry to three centers five basic points, he believes that cloud computing to be successful, if there is no good ecological environment, just physical resources and data, will not last." The most important thing is to provide a platform. The blue-Sky operating system that Microsoft is now building is based on this exploration.

Similarly, IBM's vision of a "Planet of wisdom" is also expected, and Wang, IBM's global vice-president and general Manager of China Development Center, has shown IBM's understanding of cloud computing. "Cloud computing is not just about it computing, it's more about platform power, and it can build apps on the platform," he says. "Not long ago, the IBM and Wuxi governments set up the world's first commercial cloud computing center, providing a practical service to the local software and service outsourcing base."

Opportunities always coexist with challenges! As a leader in the field of domestic mobile communications, the Dean of China Mobile Research Institute and vice Chairman of Cloud computing Experts Committee of Chinese Electronic Society Huang that, behind the business of cloud computing, operation and maintenance become operation-level management and service, which will be the major challenge in the future. "How to solve these problems, we must and industrial chain, industrialization, from the government, from the operator, from hardware suppliers, software suppliers, colleges and universities linked to its product research." He put forward a point of view: Based on open source technology, actively build open cloud computing platform. For the openness of the cloud platform, Wang also mentioned "must adhere to the open standards", because "cloud" is not only one, multiple "cloud" interconnection between the collaboration of cloud computing to play a greater efficiency. "The convergence of cloud and public computing platforms within large enterprises has many benefits." "Lenovo Group CTO He Zhiqiang from complex technical expertise to talk about simple cost savings and green it, and the cloud of Lenovo's greater opportunity lies in the" Cloud computing Service Terminal "brought about by the vast world.

The most active and attractive part of the morning main forum is the round-table forum after the keynote address. The Roundtable forum was chaired by Wang, the CEO of the Australian media, who participated in interactive discussions with Chinese Academy of Engineering, vice chairman of Cloud computing Experts Committee of China Electronic Society NI, academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering Li Bohu, EMC company general manager of China Research and Development Center Fan, Friends of new system Technology (Beijing) Yang, chairman and general manager of Yao Hongyu and Intel Asia Pacific Research and Development Co., Ltd., chief research and development officer of software and Services Division. The discussion focused on the nature of cloud computing and its impact on topics such as what cloud computing is, how cloud computing will affect users, and what cloud vendors are doing to change the development of the Internet. In the meantime, the host and the guest punch line, Intel Yang describes cloud computing: "Because not expensive, so precious, because it is not complicated, so extraordinary"; EMC Fan borrowed Li Deii's poetic words to describe cloud computing: "A distant view of the visible, near-view boundless." Coupled with the on-site mobile phone message interaction, greatly mobilized the participants active degree, the atmosphere brought to a climax.

O Letter Media CEO Wang with a wonderful argument to do the morning of the main venue of the conclusion: "It industry has been through the idea of innovation to create demand, and then promote the development of industry ... Innovation in the IT field is the most universal and beneficial to all users, compared with innovation in other industries. The industry's concern about cloud computing means that it has its own interests, which is the premise of a new innovation and survival. Although not many people can succeed, but there must be a group of people to succeed!

If the morning of the main forum is experts on the road, then the afternoon of the sub-Forum will be the question and content of the discussion. The Sub-Forum includes "virtualization and cloud Storage", "cloud computing platforms and services", "cloud Computing and SaaS", and these three forums have a special discussion on cloud computing and its impact on the information industry and society.

In the virtualization and cloud storage sub-forum, experts from Jie, EMC, Intel and others made presentations on virtualization, efficient cloud servers, and cloud storage, while experts from Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported on the current trends in virtualization and cloud storage; IDC's senior analyst is statistically , the general trend of the Internet and the development of cloud storage are summarized.

At the "Cloud computing platform and Services" forum, IBM, Microsoft and China Mobile made technical presentations on their respective cloud offerings, including IBM's Blue Cloud, Microsoft's Azure cloud computing operating system, and China Mobile's big cloud cloud platform; And professors at the PLA Tech University combine cloud computing with today's fiery 3G wireless communications technology, extended speech to the cloud platform; Friends of the new company on behalf of emerging domestic cloud computing vendors, from the innovative cloud computing middleware, mining cloud computing more suitable for the people of another market space.

The cloud computing and SaaS Sub-forum focuses on applications, with a round table of 7 business executives or executives to discuss the business opportunities of cloud computing and analyze the difference between cloud computing and SaaS. In addition, Cordys and EF Education have made keynote speeches on SaaS application practices.

In the 2009 Cloud Computing China Forum, in addition to keynote speeches, roundtable forums and the three Oita forum, there is a cloud computing display area, the research institutions and manufacturers also in the Forum 2000 square meters outside the hall show some of the formation of cloud computing products, and the actual solution to do a demonstration. More than 1100 participants from all walks of life attended the exhibition area to have a more image of the application and future of cloud computing.

The Cloud computing China Forum laid the first brick for China's cloud computing path. Some analysts believe that as a new development of distributed processing, parallel processing and grid computing, the core of cloud computing is to provide users with leased computing resources in the form of a service based on the actual usage amount, after virtualization of IT hardware and software resources of one or several data centers. It is no longer necessary to spend as much cost as ever to build their own "all-inclusive", "rollout" it information systems. As a result, cloud computing is a fusion of many new technologies, including virtualization, Grid computing, distributed computing, public computing, WEB 2.0, SaaS, and, more importantly, a new business model that is centred on the need to hire IT resources. The development of these technologies and business models will undoubtedly have an important impact on the future of the software industry and the hardware industry in the field of electronic information. Will spill over into a variety of areas including servers, storage, network infrastructure and middleware, operating systems, applications, Web services, and create a new IT application perspective.
